Hello!你好！Bonjour!やあ！

As a creative who loves solving problems, I have a knack for crafting intuitive experiences and tools through user research and prototyping. I am passionate about bridging the junction between technology, human behavior, and empathy.

With 5 years of experience in Product Design, I also recently obtained an MS degree in Integrated Design & Media (IDM) at NYU, with a Bachelor’s in Industrial & Product Design at Pratt Institute.

In my free time, I love taking my film camera on a stroll, playing Bananagrams, dancing ballet, and binge-watching Edward Yang’s movies.

You can reach me on Linkedin or via kristinehyang@gmail.com.
